Dry Ice "Vapor"
Name: Kassie Status: student Grade: 6-8 Location: OR Country: N/A Date: October 2006
If the gas from dry ice is colorless and clear, why does it form clouds of white vapor, especially when you blow on it?
Kassie, The gas from dry ice is carbon dioxide. Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide and is converted directly into gas without going through a liquid phase in a process called sublimation. The cloud of vapor that you see when you blow on the dry ice is actually water vapor that is condensing into fog. This happens because the -78 degree C dry ice is converted into still very cold gaseous carbon dioxide. It is still colder than the condensation point of water, so the humidity in the air is turned into, effectively, a cloud.
Matt Voss
What we think of as "air" is actually a combination of many different gases. One of the gases in air is water vapor. Quite a bit of water vapor can be held in gaseous form if the temperature is high. However, when the temperature drops, some of the water vapor will be converted to liquid form, come together, and form small droplets suspended in air. These droplets tend to reflect or bend light a lot more than gaseous water vapor, and we see them as a white smokey substance. So, it is not the dry ice that is turning smokey white, but rather the air around it that has been made cold because of the dry ice.
Your exhaled breath also has a lot of water vapor. Coming out of your lungs, this water vapor is generally warm and can stay in a gaseous form. However, when it gets cold, the water vapor rapidly becomes liquid and the droplets of liquid water form. This is why you can see your breath in winter, and this is why blowing on dry ice makes a lot more smokey white substance appear.
Greg (Roberto Gregorius)
What you see is water vapor condensed as a "fog" by the cold carbon dioxide evaporating from the "dry ice". You will notice that the "cloud" tends to hug the ground. This is because the cold carbon dioxide is denser than the surrounding warmer air.
Vince Calder
Dry ice is very cold. The gas coming from it is still very cold and causes any water vapor it comes in contact with to condense into tiny water droplets -- essentially clouds.
Your breath is warm and moist. When warm, moist air from your mouth meets with the cold carbon dioxide gas a LOT of water vapor forms clouds.

Movie Review The Clock Is Ticking The 11th Hour paints a dark portrait of humanity and delivers an urgent environmental message. By Andrea Anderson
Some "environmental" films use dazzling scenery and cute, furry animals to inspire admiration for nature, only gently nudging viewers to consider making an effort to protect it. Warner Independent Pictures' The 11th Hour is not that kind. It starts out swinging, with a stomach-turning opening montage of nightmarish scenes–from fires and floods to trash and toxic waste–that are unmistakably incriminating toward humans.
Narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio, who also served as co-producer, this 95-minute documentary calls on a powerhouse team of more than 50 scientists, journalists, and environmental activists to describe our relationship with Earth and its species, what we have done wrong, and what we can do better. Among the array of commentators: Mikhail Gorbachev, Stephen Hawking, former CIA director James Woolsey, and Greenbelt Movement founder Wangari Maathai.
Viewers should prepare to face not only graphic imagery of the devastation we have wreaked on the natural world, but dire warnings about the future (for both the environment and people), and a demand that we clean up our act. The 11th Hour, is worth seeing because it offers a compelling view of the ties among environmental degradation, rampant consumerism, corporate influence on politics, and greed.
Fortunately, the film's misanthropic tone eventually switches to one that's more inspirational, leaving the viewer with the message that change is possible: It emphasizes the breadth and value of human ingenuity, arguing that we can use our ever-improving technology to live in ways that benefit both the Earth and the economy.
"Healing the damage of industrial civilization is the task of our generation," DiCaprio says, "Our response depends on the conscious evolution of our species, and this response could very well save this unique blue planet for future generations."
The big question is: Will the film's message reach those who are not already convinced of its truth?

weejee the great teabagging of America, which will forever be remembered in the annals of history
Benjamin, shouldn't the inaugural Teabagger Goat Fuck & Barbecue be remembered in the anals of history? This was clearly a high colonic of historic proportions. Right up the butt. Too, also.
HempDogbane Our country was taken back by the Teabagger Repo-man, also. Don't expect any more communist transit options, either.
natoslug You left the most important item off that list: Dubya is really one of us, a war opposing, Cheney-hating leftist who doesn't know how or why old people have sex. It was almost enough to make me want a new war.
WarAndGee Scholars will say "…anus of history…"
user-of-owls No, the scholars will simply weep. None of can summon the masochism that is needed to pick at that eight year scab any more than we can bear to relive the nightmare that haunted us from 1980-1988.
Sixteen years of literal dementia in the White House; half natural, half self-induced. Oh, and just in case I am being too oblique for our petulant knuckle-dragging weekend guests, yes, I am referring to George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan, the first Vegetable-American to occupy the Presidency. Please, do tee off on my P-score, I welcome it.
SexySmurf The teabaggers probably spell "tea" with an "i". And a z, q and one of those upside down e's.
ulTIMum Missing the big story. This is like the first chapter of Frankenstein. Or, the nose of the camel in the tent. Or, the night of the long knives. In fine, once you have created a monster out of equal parts inane, insane, and insipid, how do you control it?
What was the name of that lonely intergalactic explorer in 2001 on his hazardous treck through the pod bay door to disengage the hideous monster from control of the ship? Oh, yeah. Karl Rove.
iburl It's so unfair that black presidents only get 3/5ths of a term when they lose their referendumb.
PsycWench "the great teabagging of America, which will forever be remembered in the annals of history
Why do I think teabagging is going to be the political version of New Wave music rather than the political version of rock and roll?-
DoktorZoom I would submit that teabaggers are to US history what Men Without Hats were to rock and roll.
hockeymom They can dance if they want to…they can leave their cares aside.
Lascauxcaveman Hey, Men Without Hats were kind of fun, in a cockeyed sort of way. I wouldn't say that about the Tea Party. If you want to force that analogy, you'll have to find a band that is merely ignorant, ugly and obnoxious, with none of the fine, redeeming traits of a lovable goof.
user-of-owls I'm sure there's a StormFront Top-Ten Download list floating about somewhere, wouldn't you think?
Zvi_Bleindmeis I nominate Bachman Turner Overdrive. They were oafish and teabaggy.
imissopus And now we have Bachmann Boehner Overdrive.
Zvi_Bleindmeis Boner. Boner.
imissopus There is something very disturbing about stringing the words Bachmann, Boner, and Overdrive all together.
Zvi_Bleindmeis "Overdrive" is the only word in that sequence that is even faintly non-horrifying.
"Speaker Boner" is about the most distressing two-word construction I can think of. Except maybe "President Bachman."
OneDollarJuana And the way he always cries. Jeez, he's the real "girlboner".
Beowoof When you think of the characterization of him as a girl Boner, that makes me think he is a strap on dildo.
DoktorZoom Excellent point–they're the Gene Simmons of politics?
marinmaven My pick would have been "come on, Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners. I especially remember the raggamuffin hickster in overalls look.
fuflans long as the 'punk' part is removed from your equation.
that shit just got a whole new lease on life.

RedneckMuslin There's no U in Tea, either!
DemmeFatale I've been away. Did anything happen while I was gone?
PublicLuxury I love teabagging in the morning.
ttommyunger I find myself rubbing my hands together and chuckling maniacally over the prospect of watching McConnell, Boehner and the other Republican Fat Cats trying to get their Freshman TeaBagging Congresstards to march in lock-step with them. Controlling these egocentric nut-cases will be worse than trying to herd cats. Just proves the old saw: "Be careful what you want, you just might get it." or "Fuck'em if they can't take a joke!" Heh, heh.
Bonzos_Bed_Time That's the real reason they're trying to keep them out of committees!
ttommyunger Yeah, good luck with that! These fucks will run screaming to their base just like a brat to its mommy.
user-of-owls But they got prospects. They're bona fide!
Bonzos_Bed_Time No, really: http://www.slate.com/id/2273504/
Committees are baaaaaad…
transfatz I think they will let the T-tards run whenever they need a pit bull. A kind of bad-GOP/good GOP strategy. I don't run away from aggressive dogs. Running is a prey reaction. I run towards them. I once saw a house-cat run off two Doberman Pinschers this way. I favor more cojones in Democratic dealings with teabaggers starting with a good game of chicken in the upcoming debt ceiling votes.
DoktorZoom How does 5 nights a week of "Christine's Coven" on Fox News sound to you?
Crank_Tango Pronounce it "Cove-in" and feature her riding the hashoil dildo and you got yerself a deal, Dok.
Negropolis Sereda the Enchantress & Friends has a more Fox-like ring to it, or simply Sereda & Friends. In fact, she could have a show called "Brown Eye" to go with their "Red Eye".
Carl Paladino could get a show called "Curveball".
BarackMyWorld All this talk of tea-bagging just makes me want to put my balls in Meghan McCain's mouth.
Wadisay I see where Dame Peggington Noonington hath put quill to parchment and smote Sarah the Moose Whisperer a good one. Boy, don't fuck with Reagan's legacy around Pegs, unless you want to hear, Ronnie was wonderful! Leave him alone! ((sob))
Lost_Teabaggers Okay my fellow libtards to provide a bit of analysis I'd like to say; it's not as bad as you think and 2012 is a completely different animal. For one, since a special class of voter "the presidential voter" is ALWAYS absent from midterms (hence the class) it's really impossible to say this midterm or any midterm is a repudiation of the presidents policies; we'll figure that out in 2012. Congress since during its elections have less available voters to draw on has its own coaltion which is seperate but composed of a proportion of presidential voters. This is also demonstrated in "surge and decline" patterns in off elections. So, essentially even though the Democrats lost pretty heavily all is not lost, in fact far from it.
What the Dems needs to do for the next two years is go about the work of rebuilding the Obama coaltion which as I said wasn't "destroyed" by this election; in fact for the most part it wasn't even represented. So don't panic or go chicken little my fellow libtards; focus and this election coming in 2012 will be won.
Bonzos_Bed_Time I'm actually really impressed with what Mr. Whitebread did in Nevada. Not necessarily a national model, but components need to be applied nationally (mobilizing the under-paid culinary/domestic worker Hispanic vote).
I bet Harry can really get his freak on. Probably went home and did tax returns with his socks off or something.
Limeylizzie Thanks for that, I have been on the verge of tears since Tuesday, now I have a teeny flicker of hope.
slappypaddy the former junior senator from illinois is not to be underestimated. he's a swell fighter in the clinch. a canny, cold-blooded strategist, also, not afraid to draw lines and make kills.
Chet Kincaid The "wasn't even represented" part is the part that is bothersome. We pile on about the ignorance of the wingtards, but what about the ignorance of the Obama voters who somehow think that off-year elections don't matter and that non-Presidential elections don't matter? If not for our appalling understanding of civics, Obama might have had more than a year and a half to accomplish something.
transfatz No shit. I got out and voted but I'm an old. Oh I was disappointed at the lame health care bill and stormed around saying I wouldn't vote, but when the time came I did anyway. Besides recognizing the importance of the mid-terms, what else is there to do on a tuesday night?
There must be some trick to get Obama's younger base to understand that a president requires legislative support and an hour of their time every few Novembers.-
Chet Kincaid "Hey Hipsters! The narrow-minded people in your small town or suburb whose influence you are trying to escape through college or the Big City will still control most aspects of your lives if you don't stop binge-drinking long enough to wake up hangover-free and vote every two years!"
How much would it cost to run that in the freebie Jr. Newspapers they hand out in all the major markets?
BarackMyWorld Have there been any participation numbers published yet? I'd be interested in seeing those.
Lost_Teabaggers So we know what the GOP will be composed of and who's voting Republican; that's the good news because in terms of coalition they'll be even more narrow in 2012. The Reps are about as popular as an STD with minority groups so the Democrats have lots of growth room. I think Obama vs. the GOP is a really good foundation for the Dems especially if he's stalwart on his health bill, which it sounds like he will be. It's going to be interesting to watch how the Dems handle the coming battles to rollback everything they've done; I think if they can stay generally constructive they should win the next one. You cannot hold a governing coalition based entirely on negativity so if wingers spend the next two years throwing poop at everyone that's what the dems want; we'll see how it plays out but I fucking dare them to try to impeach Obama or repeal his health bill, that's all I can say.
DustBowlBlues It wouldn't hurt to get some Democratic asses busy fighting for immigration reform, whether or not it's doable. No annoying Blue Dogs to fuck it up and a chance to sew up a big demographic for years to come.
Start with the Wish Act and let's see some Dems crying up there over a few examples of kids who grew up all-american but, through no fault of their own, are shut out of living the American dream. Even the Huckster (The formerly svelte governor of a crap state) once championed it.
Crank_Tango Today, we are all shaking Bristol Palin's ass.
user-of-owls Forgive me please this introspection, but:
I shall Poopyhead no more, forever.Being a one-noter gets old quickly. When it did with an earlier schtick (The Palin Hookworm Conjecture), I walked away. I didn't ask who gave the order, because it didn't have anything to do with business.
The Poopyhead Derivative (an inverse relationship between the number of people/times an odious boor is called that name and nothing else, and the number of subsequent posts by said boor) appears to have empirical difficulties based on recent evidence. So for the sake of science and for the sake of not becoming known as an insufferable, repetitive mooch, basta ya.
transfatz I will miss your call, war owl.
glamourdammerung No more repetitive than the Breitards, although I can understand where one might think they would make them spam more and not wish to encourage it. Based on my limited interaction with that person, I think your logic is based on a false premise though, namely that they are posting anything that has to do with topic or post they are replying to.
weejee Well feathered friend, a glorious poo-poo-adéu to your well crafted "do not feed the trolls" mantra.
Mort_Sinclair Andrew Breitbart. Seems like such fertile ground for snark, but I can't think of something pithy to say. Gah. I despise that little toad.

weejee Keep yer powder dry and have a blast!
deanbooth OT: The first thing asshole-governer-elect Kasich has done is to kill all studies for the Ohio 3C train. Way to go idiot Ohio voters. This is just one of the nice things we will not have, now and far into the future.
BerkeleyBear Thank God a handful of voters in Illinois were more comfortable voting for a girlfriend/hooker beating steroid using pawn shop owner rather than a puppy killing anti-choice moron or Illinois would be canceling high-speed rail in an effort to outrace Chris Christie for dumbest idea possible.
x111e7thst Yes, our new governor elect (Cuomo) has already asked for your highspeed money. So your loss may end up as my gain.
Beowoof The remarkable ignorance of Kasich is stunning in its scope and effect long term. There is a certain short sightedness to these people that cannot be explained. I wish I had something snarky to say, I don't.
weejee OT, the Slate has a nice bit on the DeRats actually winning the Battle of 2010, just not the election. Congresses come and go, but this last term we got med ins and we got financial regulation back and one class of Repubicans with a problematic dose of Teaturds won't be able to do a damn thing about it. This is like Social Security in the 1930s. Nice work Madam Speaker Pelosi, nice work.
BerkeleyBear Stewart had that historian Beschloss on, and he basically took the position President Obama and his advisor knew the bailouts/TARP etc. meant they'd lose the midterms and never have the legislative shot they did in 09-10 so went for it on health care, infrastructure, etc. I don't know all the dirt, obviously, but I tend to agree. If HCR, as weak as it had to be to get 60 votes in the Senate, hadn't passed, can you imagine it even getting a hearing in the next Congress?
imissopus Presidents always lose midterms even in good times so Barry said fuck it and went for the big-ticket items his first two years. Now he can spend two years working on other presidential business while the Congress tries to roll back health care, starts up some bullshit investigations, screams itself hoarse about how he's destroying America, etc. I'd bet this has been his plan since day one.
I skimmed Frank Rich's new column and he seems flabbergasted that Obama went to India immediately after the elections blow-out. Said it was bad optics. On the contrary, I think Obama's sending the Repukes a message: you wanted this mess, you got it. While you're busy telling unemployed 24-year-olds they can't have health insurance through their parents because SOCIALISM and trying to explain to people why giving millionaires tax cuts will result in middle-class jobs for the little people, I'll be busy managing two wars and solving the Middle East. I don't know that we've ever had a president so unimpressed by political theater and yet occasionally adept at deploying it.
Of course I might be in denial. But as tired and shocked as he looked at that press conference on Wednesday, I would not be surprised if he walked back up to the residence, flashed that big ol' Barry smile at the kids, high-fived his wife, and sat on the couch watching basketball while smoking a victory cigar and savoring the snookering he just gave to everyone.
weejee One of the interesting stats on the election is that the Ya Blew It Dogs (those who did not vote for HCR) lost their seats at a higher rate than did the Blue Dogs who voted for HCR. Just shows to go ya that doin' the proper thing sometimes trumps doin' the politically proper thing.
imissopus An old childhood buddy of mine is a freshman Blue Dog who just lost his re-election in Virginia's 2nd District by eleven points (he squeaked out the win in 2008 by a few thousand votes.) During the healthcare debate he had not announced which way he was voting, and I remember telling my dad he should just vote "yes" and be on the right side of history, because it wouldn't matter to his re-election bid if he voted no; no way he was attracting enough conservative voters this year as long as that D was next to his name, no matter what else he did.
Well he voted no, bragged about it, and got crushed. Had he voted yes on principle and defended himself, maybe the Dems in the area, particularly the sizable black population, would have been energized enough to turn out for him. But he didn't and now he gets to go down as a one-termer.
weejee Likely your childhood chum was toast anyway in the VA 2nd.. That said, fifty – sixty years from now the 111th Congress will be remembered like the 74th, which wrote and passed the original legislation for Social Security. Those who said yes on HRC will at least have the knowledge that they passed a law that was way overdue and would today, as well as down that future road, have a profound importance, not only to the unemployed without health care, but to the small business person who wants their staff to get as good as any for the great value they bring each in their own way to their firms' bottom lines.
Thanks 111th, for a job done well.
BarackMyWorld I think those assessments are a little overly-optimistic about how permanent Obama's reforms might be, but the reality is that Republicans are going to go at least six, maybe 10 years (2007-2013 or 2017, going from the time Democrats took Congress to the end of Obama's presidency) without doing any legislative damage to the country, so the real victors are the American people.
RandPaulsToupee You guys totally missed the part where Teabaggers, led by a King Teabagger running for a seat in California's 51st, rushed Congressman Bob Filner, spat on him, and called him a Jew on election night, then went off and masturbated furiously to the footage on stormfront.org.

x111e7thst "Andrew Breitbart's first amendment right to public buffoonery was savagely crushed by ABC News"
They should have just crushed his head. By having an elephant step on it. The symbolism would have been exquisite.
BarackMyWorld Breitbart hopefully soon gets savagely crushed by Shirley Sherrod's lawyers.
bumfug But who's gonna clean the shit off of the elephant's foot?
comrad_darkness Just put him in an Audacity of Hope t-shirt and let him loose in a gaggle of Rand Paul supporters you are saying?
HistoriCat If the elephant crushes his head, how will Breitbart be able to apologize to the elephant?
LibrulEleet Ti, a drink with jam and bread, that will bring us back to D'oh.
lulzmonger "The great teabagging of America" = voters neutering the Blue Dogs (cutting them in half overnight), while only 4/80-ish of the Progressive Caucus now have to forage for hobo beans. Dems quietly held a little purity-purge of their own on Tuesday, & it was long-overdue. Meanwhile, even with anonymous megabuck attack-ad-pimps coming to their aid, many of the Teabagger Superstars were caught in a bug-versus-windshield scenario.
Those balls on America's face are a hell of a lot tinier than the corporate noise-factory makes them seem … in fact, they hardly qualify as TruckNutz for a Tonka Toy.
In a numerate country, that result (America mercilessly punishing the two-faced DINO fuck-knuckles who repeatedly shanked Obama in the back) would dwarf the blip that was the Tee Partay – but MATH=HITLERSOCIALISMTERRORISTS!
mumbly_joe Meh, even given the strategic value of having a more disciplined caucus on your hands, I'm still convinced that's a pretty thin silver lining- after all, that's still no different from saying that the teabaggers successfully ousted some unreliable conservatives (i.e, conservadems) and replaced them with very reliable conservatives (teabaggers). Because that's the other side of that equation. And frankly, as terrible as Blue Dogs are, I'd rather have a few more Heath Shulers in Congress, if it means fewer proud Iraqi-torturers, justforinstance.
Honestly, though, I'm more upset about the Senate, anyway- The teabaggers didn't take it outright, but losing Feingold is a pretty serious blow to Senate progressives, and Senate seats might as well be Supreme Court appointments, seeing how difficult it is, once elected, to lose them except to death or retirement.
lulzmonger Don't get me wrong, I know the Ds got a non-trivial boot in the nuts on Tuesday – & I doubt that the result will produce "a more disciplined caucus" anyway. Just couldn't help noticing that the result has been subjected to heavy-duty spin by Teh Liberal Media. Dem voters despise Reid almost as much as the GOP does & yet he miraculously kept his seat = NON-STORY.
Sadly, Republicans still don't have a footbullet monopoly.
transfatz Republicans will be positioning black and Hispanic quislings to run in countless races in 2012. Don't think they haven't learned the lesson of their anti-Hispanic behavior in 2010. They are looking at the same numbers I'm looking at and they got their patoots kicked. Things could have been much worse for the Dems if the Republibigots had simply kept their mouths shut. Democratic organizations must be increasingly proactive about bringing superior minority candidates to the fore to give voters a policy based choice. Minority legislators should be fast-tracked into leadership positions to counter the Republican's "new" big tent facade.
Chet Kincaid Remember that big rally a week ago? Bill Maher makes the same point about it that I did here on Wonkette:
weejee But Maher said little about the Windy City's best. Who is going to burn a candle for Jake 'Greasy Thumb' Guzik? Who will stand up for Jake and his position in history? The heroes of Chicago get no respect. I haz a sad.
BarackMyWorld I don't think Stewart and Colbert were necessarily arguing for compromising principles, just ratcheting down the rhetoric and ad hominems.
Bluestatelibel Yeah, but you know what side is flinging all the rhetoric and ad hominens. I stomached Hannity for about 15 minutes the other night, and it was 15 minutes stating that $200 million per day bullshit as fact, and then the crap about "Obama is so spoiled and a spendthrift." Millions of people watched that, and most still probably believe the $200 million per day and the 34 warships crap.
BarackMyWorld That's a fair point, but a few years ago the roles were reversed.
There were people on the left who spent 8 years comparing Bush to Hitler. Olbermann had a special comment where he seriously argued that Bush was a fascist. There was an entire movement devoted to trying to show he was behind 9/11. The people on the left that went to these lengths weren't as numerous or mainstream as the people on the right lying about Obama and calling him a socialist (as Maher points out), but that doesn't make it ok.
Chet Kincaid But Stewart pretended that there is an equal amount of left/right rhetoric and ad hominems, and implied that the left was as crazy as the right, in order to "Trojan Horse" his message as non-partisan. What weak sauce–and I know The Daily Show has criticized Obama for the same kind of weakness and naivete. Some usually-accurate name-calling from Olbermann and Ed Schultz (who?) is the biggest problem facing the country? Look at what the stakes were three days later: in retrospect, what a waste of 200,000 people. Maher's critique demands an answer, which I'd love to see Monday night.

Radiotherapy This is what we're talking about, taking back Amerika.
And just in time for Xmas.
BarackMyWorld Cantor was saying this morning that the GOP isn't going to compromise on extending the Bush tax cuts for top earners.
"I am not for raising taxes in a recession, especially when it comes to job-creators we need so desperately to create jobs again."
In Republicanland, top earners are a magic economic growth machine that you can insert tax cuts into and jobs are spit out like Snickers bars and cans of Mountain Dew.
V572625694 Are you saying that when the Riches pour their tax cut savings into the stock market, second homes in St-Tropez, and yachts chartered in Panama, it doesn't create jobs in US America, except maybe for $1K/hr-hookers, coke dealers, Illegal gardeners, nannies and other house staff? This is the kind of class warfare that is ruining the country.
elpinche No worries! Rand Paul and Tea Party will save us!
(try saying that with a straight face) -
weejee Did Cantor say that with a straight face? Generally speaking, and with the usual caveats on the 'general' case, once a small biz owner has the nickle in his/her pocket, the chances of that getting invested back into their small biz lie between slim and none. Maybe Pelosi can trade some small biz payroll-related tax cuts for letting the over $250K Bush tax cut expire. And hopefully she can do that in the upcoming lame duck session.
jim89048 Exactly right. Once upon a time I had myself a small business, and my sole purpose for it was to hang on to every nickel I could. My only employee was myself, except for the crooked little accountant I hired at tax time. I get the feeling I am/was not alone in this thinking.
BarackMyWorld He made the usual supply-side argument about the cure for any and all economic problems was more capital for investment, as if (a) there was any kind of shortage of capital right now, or (b) there would be any demand for new products if they did happen to use the money to invest in new businesses or business expansion.
weejee Good grief! Continuing to slide on Laffer's curve on taxes in today's economy makes about as much sense as applying Becher's Phlogiston Theory to a forest fire in the Northwest. Supply, like our Northwest trees, wasn't the problem in the recent bursting bubbles, pick one – any one, it was demand. As you said BMW, there ain't no capital shortage either. The only supply-side symptom our economy has right now is the past decade's dramatic increase in the disparity between thems that have and thems that don't.
Getting rid of the tax cut on income over $250K should be the DRats #1 job when they get back. Gazzillionaires like Warren Buffet & Bill Gates say they should get hit.
What bad crack has Cantor been smoking to say no? What a douche. Eric the douche should be put in a room filled with dephlogisticated air and supply-side that 'til he turns blue.
Negropolis As my city mayor, Virg Bernero, says of trickle-down economics:
"I don't know about you, but I'm tired of being trickled on."
Indeed, Virg; indeed.

Our US Holiday - Sea Day, Carnival Ecstasy
... smiles from some and near death to others; me specifically. There is video of this which I now need to locate and destroy. During the night ,we also took in the Piano Bar with Elizabeth who coerced Emma to sing "part of your world". This was beautiful! We had photos taken in our formal gear and also arranged our Bike tour of Half Moon Cay tomorrow.. We have to get up about 8, to have breakfast and get going by 9.30. That'll be a challenge! .... ...
Docked at Half Moon Cay and Back
... In order to reach the island, the cruise company had three ferries carrying passengers back and forth throughout the day. Although I do say it is a tiny island that is only one out off the 700 that make up the Bahamas, it is over 2,000 acres of land; 50 acres is dedicated to tourism and the rest to the wildlife that inhabits it. The island is beautiful and is what a tourist who has never been to Caribbean would dream of. It is a dry and barren island, but anyone can find the beauty ...
Great Guanaja Vacation, Guanaja Island Club Style
... I highly recommend diving and staying at the Guanaja Island Club. You can always head to the all night parties at the Island House a short walk down from the Guanaja Island Club and you can take the boat bar cruise, they call it the" Honky Tonk Cruise", a tour which they start around 9 or 10 at night and cruise to different watering holes around the island. Wow! this is something I have never experienced and it was a highlight of the week's ...
Old friends
... but when you're on land and you think back, you realise the rest of the world has little idea about what it really feels like to be on ships. It's a totally different world.
It was a lovely way to end this contract, in the company of some old faces with whom I shared some fun times, in the sun, with a drink in your hand and a smile on your face. Marty isn't a beach person at all, but grudgingly came along. Being a DJ and previously a dancer for ...
Half Moon Cay – Paradise Found!
... sand beach was beautiful. The sand felt like clay on my feet. The water was clear – we swam out to deeper water and could still look down and see the bottom. Schools of fish would swim through everyone in the water it was so neat. The nice thing was that there were loungers for all the guests so we didn't have to lie in the sand all day, but we did anyways. The coolest thing to my husband was the wrecked pirate ship ...

I'm starting a Dry Rye Stout today. Who has tried this beer. What can I expect, I'm hoping to not get a stuck runoff but I think it should be ok. The recipe I am following calls for a 2 1/2 hour mash, I have never done one so long. I will be doing it in my kettle to make sure I can keep accurate temperatures. I am new to homebrewing and I'm not quite sure what first runnings are so Im going to try to seperate wort from grain and take the first gallon that comes out and put it back through. Is this correct I hope so. I will check to see if anyone has responded during my 2.5 hour mash.
I suspect you are talking about recirculating (vorlauf) which means to just take the first few quarts of liquid that come out of your tun and put them bacl into the top. This is done because there will be grain particles in that first few quarts and you want to put them back into the tun rather than your kettle.
by the way: the looooong mash is probably just to ensure that all of your starch gets converted into not just sugar, but FERMENTABLE sugar. That's what will make the beer dry.
Mashing at 160 for 2 hours doesn't make a whole lot of sense. You're mashing a long time to ensure that all the starches break down into fermentable sugars, but mashing at a high temperature ensures that the exact opposite happens. I don't think your stout will finish very dry. You can add some amylase enzyme to the carboy to break those sugars down into easily fermentable ones.
The mash was supposed to be at 152 I just didn't do a good job mashing. It should have been much lower. I just hope it is drinkable in the end I've only done a few batches
It will be just fine. I'm not trying to tell you that your beer is ruined, just trying to give helpful hints for next time.
There's no doubt that adding amylase enzyme into the carboy will dry out the beer. As a matter of fact, it will dry out the beer to TOTAL dryness, you'll have no body at all. Yuck.
Thanks everyone for the comments, I just put the blowoff tube down. For the most part I am satisfied, besides the very high mash temp, took a little longer than usual to cool to but all in all a good brew. I'll post how it turns out after the holidays. I think I might try to get one more batch fermenting before I leave for a week and a half.
I think I am going to retry this recipe again tommorow with a better attention to mash temp, maybe I will try it in the coolertun this time using some of your suggestions.

North Oldham's defense got a wakeup call on Sept. 26.
The Mustangs let Spencer County running back Logan Holbrook run for 284 yards and three touchdowns in a 21-13 Bears win.
At that point North was 3-2 overall and 0-1 in district play, needing to regroup and get its season back on track.
"After the Spencer County game, coaches set a goal for us – no one else scores on us," senior fullback/linebacker Kevin Graham said. "We just said 72 points is all we were going to allow this year."
South Oldham seniors Christian Lister and Joseph Profancik were named first-team All-State West boys soccer selections by the Kentucky Soccer Coaches Association.
Lister, a forward, scored 17 goals and notched 11 assists for the Dragons, who finished this season in the state semifinals for the first time.
Profancik, a center-back, anchored a defense that allowed just 18 goals all season.
The All-State West team consists of players from Regions 1-8.
Other county players honored included:
North Oldham boys golf coach Larry Dunn was Region 6 Boys Golf Coach of the Year by the Kentucky Golf Coaches Association.
Dunn guided the Mustangs to a third-place finish in this year's region tournament.
North senior Josh Maier was honored as a member of the All-Region 6 team.
Maier finished sixth while competing as an individual at the state golf tournament last month in Bowling Green.
North Oldham junior outside hitter Casey Foote and junior middle hitter Sarah Snyder were named to the Class 2-A first team by the Kentucky Volleyball Coaches Association.
Foote and Snyder helped lead the Lady Mustangs to a Region 8 title last month in Carrollton.
Foote was also named Region 8 Player of the Year.
Oldham County coach Vince McDonough was named Region 8 Coach of the Year.
LEXINGTON – North Oldham got a ring for its thumb Saturday. And this title came thanks to its most impressive performance yet.
The Mustangs totaled 49 points in winning their fifth straight KHSAA Class 2-A Cross-Country State Championship at the Kentucky Horse Park.
Webster County (96) was a distant second, followed by Highlands (110), Shelby County (185) and Covington Catholic (196).
The 49-point performance bested even North's own expectations, coach David St. Louis said.
LEXINGTON – All three county girls teams put together top five performances at the KHSAA Cross-Country State Championships on Saturday.
Erin Edmundson led North Oldham to a third-place finish in the Class 2-A race at the Kentucky Horse Park.
The 3-A race saw Oldham County edge South Oldham for fourth place. Samantha Griffin was the highest finisher for OC, while Hallie Searcy paced the Lady Dragons.
Class 2-A: Erin Edmundson, a junior, came in eighth overall with a time of 19:43.21.

Why do I have two filters in my air cleaner assembly?
The outer element or "Primary Element" eliminates over 98% of contaminant from reaching the engine.
Filter media is least efficient when new and becomes more efficient as particles plug the passageways through the layers of paper. As the filter becomes more efficient the restriction increases and less air is allowed through. The outer element should be replaced when air restriction reaches 20 to 25 inches of water restriction. Air restriction can be measured with an air restriction indicator.
The inner element or "Safety Element" is to protect the engine if a rupture of the primary element should occur. The safety element also protects the engine from contaminates during the replacement of the primary element. The safety element should remain in place for 3 to 5 outer element changes.

got stuck in a situation.I'm totally new to android. I used Facebook Android SDK https://github.com/facebook/facebook-android-sdk
i followed this tutorial http://www.integratingstuff.com/2010/10/14/integrating-facebook-into-an-android-application/
this helps me to log in and post to user's wall.Now I want to collect friends' information.
From this topic Facebook API for Android: how to get extended info regarding user`s friends? I found a simple way to do that.
Bundle bdle=new Bundle();
JSONObject json = Util.parseJson(facebook.request("me/friends",bdle));
Now when I print this json,I can see id and birth dates. Now I can't find a way to separate them and also not found anything on search. It gives me all friends' ID and birth dates all together. something like :
I preferred this ,because it prevents application to fetch a single friend's id to get a single date,rather provides me altogether.
Now please help me to break this json and separate this information into two array,like a[1]="12345";b[1]="03/29"
And if anyone can provide me any simple example/tutorial link on facebook integration with android specially in asynchronous way that would be a great help. Thanks in advance.....
Solved the problem:
JSONArray jsonarr=json.getJSONArray("data");
JSONObject j=jsonarr.getJSONObject(0);

With the explosion of the tablet and smartphone industry comes new challenges for web designers. Frankly, it's tough to keep up with all the various trends and changes.
One common method is to divide your website into two versions: desktop and mobile. For desktop/laptop users, the site looks like your "normal" version. For mobile and tablet users, they get a different version specifically for them. Of course, this means you have to keep up with two versions of your website.
Within this methodology are two fields of thought: auto-redirecting users or allowing them to manually select which version of the site to use. Most designers lean toward the auto-redirect and give the users the option to switch to the desktop version if they want. So we will focus on the auto-redirect approach for this article and give you some tools for making this a reality on your site.
The easiest way to auto-redirect your users is with a simple JavaScript code in the header of your HTML. You can detect screen size or go with the "user agent" approach. Screen size is nice because if the user has a small screen of any kind, the code redirects to the mobile version making it easier to navigate. The user agent is passed from the device when it calls your HTMTL and can be detected using JavaScript. The benefit with the user agent detection is that you can customize for Android, iPhone, iPad, and other devices.
Assuming simplicity is your choice, here's a sample JavaScript screen size detection approach:
<script type="text/javascript"> <!-- if (screen.width <= 699) { document.location = "YOUR-MOBILE-SITE.com"; } //--> </script>
The approach using user agent looks like this:
<script type="text/javascript"> <!-- if ((navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i)) || (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPod/i))) { location.replace("http://YOUR-MOBILE-SITE.com"); } --> </script>
The above approach only detects iPhone and iPod, but a complete list of user agents that can be added can be found on User-Agents.org
CSS has a built-in method for detection of browsers and supports automatically displaying content based upon the browser window size. The upside is that you can stick with one version of your website. The downside is that you're going to have a monster of a set of CSS to keep up with.
Mobile and tablet devices typically look for one of two CSS @media — "screen" and "handheld". Because you don't know which one your users will need, you should implement both:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="screen.css" media="screen"/> <link rel="stylesheet" href="handheld.css" media="handheld"/>
Once again, this goes in the header of your HTML document to make sure this is called initially.
The disadvantages of using the @media method is that not all devices support CSS. While this is less likely today, it still happens. Also, you can't give your users a simple way to switch between CSS definitions without creating two or more websites.
<? if ( stristr($ua, "Windows CE") or stristr($ua, "Mobile") ) { $DEVICE_TYPE="MOBILE"; } if (isset($DEVICE_TYPE) and $DEVICE_TYPE=="MOBILE") { $location='YOUR-MOBILE-SITE.com/index.php'; header ('Location: '.$location); exit; } ?>
This small example detects WindowsCE or Mobile user agent and redirects to the site of your choice.
The easiest way to implement a mobile version of your site if you use WordPress is a plug-in. A favorite in the WordPress community is WordPress-Mobile-Pack by James Pearce, but others are available with various options. The WordPress-Mobile-Pack has all the basics like a mobile switcher to let users move back and forth between your site. The upside is that your site is instantly mobile ready and you only need to maintain one version. The downside is that you will likely need to tweak your CSS a great deal to get your sites looking similar.
So what methods are you using to provide mobile content? Any in addition to these methods that you find work better?

Welcoming Your Student Back
Dear Parents, Is your son or daughter returning home from studying abroad or has recently returned home? Whenever your student returns from their abroad experience, we wanted to share some helpful information. We have compiled these materials to help you welcome them back from what we hope has been a fulfilling experience. Re-entry, of course, involves more than just the practical questions of registration, housing, etc. While this may or may not be your child's first time abroad, many questions probably run through your mind. What will it be like to be with each other again? What should you expect right away . . . and in the long term? You should expect stories and photographs, souvenirs and excitement . . . and a re-adjustment process. We often hear students say that returning home was much more difficult than going abroad. There can be tears and confusion, misunderstandings and disappointment. But it can also be a time when, while recounting stories and sharing photos, the real significance of the experiences emerges. Therefore, we would like to share some ideas that may help you prepare for this re-adjustment and assist your child with the process. Your Student is Returning Home...Some Things to Expect? |

Banana ripening requires an intricate process
Armand Lobato
Related Articles
Armand, great snapshot of the intricate ripening process that is often overlooked and thought of as a simple thing. A great Banana Ripener is of significant value to any produce operation! I would add to your comment on ethylene that it is more than a byproduct, it is actually a natural plant hormone that affects plant growth, development, ripening, and senescence (aging). Many fruits, like bananas, produce their own quantities of ethylene and respond with uniform ripening when exposed to an external source of ethylene, like from our catalytic generator.

Hi Wes - the "Polly" Z-526 is housed in the Garage at Scienceworks, which is generally open for display on weekends and during School Holiday periods, weather permitting (that is, the garage is closed during the rain). The best option to view it would be to visit Scienceworks on a weekend or School Holiday period when the weather is fine, and enquire onsite with the Scienceworks Customer Service staff for directions to see it in the garage.
Hope that helps
